	Carla Del Ponte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Procureur (Prosecutor) of the ICTY Carla del Ponte
		Del Ponte was born to an Italian-speaking family in Lugano, Switzerland in 1947.

	World Press Review - Carla Del Ponte
		Del Ponte says she is a woman “who never served anyone or anything but the law.” This dogged determination for justice characterizes all of her investigations.
		In the late 1980s, she exposed the connection between the Sicilian mafia’s drug trade and Swiss money launderers, which came to be known as the “pizza connection.” Incensed by Del Ponte’s findings, members of the Cosa Nostra tried to assassinate her by placing half a ton of explosives in the foundations of her Palermo home.
		Born in Lugano, Switzerland, Del Ponte, a petite woman barely over five feet tall and a self-professed chain-smoker, began her legal career as a local lawyer.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| The Observer Profile: Carla del Ponte

		Carla del Ponte is third in a line of formidable women at The Hague - the others were the judge in the first case who became its president, Gabrielle Kirk MacDonald, a fl civil rights judge from Texas; and judge Louise Arbour of Canada, whom del Ponte replaced in September 1999.

	The Madness of Carla Del Ponte - by Nebojsa Malic
		It fell on Carla Del Ponte, her successor as the Head Inquisitor of the Hague kangaroo court, to actually put together and prosecute a case against Slobodan Milosevic and the entire Serbian political leadership.
		Del Ponte has specialized in making unsubstantiated allegations, in the press as well as the courtroom, and the media have become used to it.
		Del Ponte predictably claimed victory, telling AFP: "We have succeeded in showing the responsibility of Milosevic." After two years of continual embarrassments and bitter defeats, the statement has all the ring of wishful thinking, though the press took it at face value.

		Del Ponte claims that she was only given the job because she was the youngest magistrate and no one else had the time.

		However, added Del Ponte, I am afraid that the timeframe set in the completion strategy, whereby the Tribunal is to finish its first instance trials by the end of 2008 and close its doors by the end of 2010, has been misinterpreted by some.
		My mandate, said Del Ponte, is to indict the most senior leaders responsible for the worse crimes, and I am still working on six investigations that might all result in a new indictment.
		Del Ponte ascertained that the Tribunal is under strong pressure to wind down its task as soon as possible.
